this is a big strange category, and not one that i necessarily even include in my own idea of split/broken/whatever --
it starts, i guess, as texture:
except for those times when it's being used so beautifully, and so deliberately - in the case of abstract films -
jack smith
bruce baillee's castro street
and in hollywood movies, so narratively:
in the 'i want confessions' witness scenes in LA Confidential
in the very very long, very slow dissolves of von Sternberg.
all right, i'm going to have to rip my own stills of each of these. which will have to wait.
